    Plan of attack? or roll with the punches?

    The last year or so I have been playing a TON of 1 pocket. I play all kinds of different guys who play vastly different styles. I would call my game aggressive....boardering on "this guy friggin shoots at anything!" The other day while playing I hit a bank to leave a ball by my side pocket to...

    %?

    While playing today I started thinking about playing percentages. I'm not really an analytical player, I more or less play the shot that feels right given the entire situation. I know some of you out there MUST look at it differently than I do when deciding to pull the trigger? Gerry

    My new favorite shot

    Lately I have been playing a lot of one pocket with a friend of mine, and watching tons of Efren video. I have been playing this type of shot which I stole from Efren a bunch and the more I play it the more oportunity I see to use it. The variations are endless, but the kick remains a solid shot...

    1p theory

    I've been working on theory in general playing 1p. one thing an old guy told me was, put a ball by your side pocket when you can to keep your opponent from putting you up table. This seems simple, but REALLY effective. Do you all keep any other tidbits like this in mind while choosing shots...

    killer break,...mistake?

    I was out in the pool room practicing my 1pocket break. I just cleaned the table, took out my new spotted cue ball, and proceeded to hit the break. I kept hitting the 2nd ball too thickly, and leaving the cue ball on the foot rail behind the ball that usually gets sold out when this happens. The...

    good practice game...

    I'm trying to find new ways to practice 1P by myself, so after watching all my instructional tapes from Grady, and the only other one I have from Allen Hopkins, I started playing myself. From one side I would play very tight, no chances, from the other side I played more of the new school...

    Teaching and Learning

    During our Christmas trip up North I got the chance to teach a young kid the very basic moves of 1P. He asked me to play 9ball, but I suggested 1P for something new to him. He said sure, and we had a blast for a couple of hours trying out shots and playing a few games. Then last night I was...
